Help: carpet adhesives that are compatible with epoxy

[christopherasweeet]

In the middle of recarpeting a 17' fish and ski boat. Plywood decks are ok, but I want to coat in epoxy for long-term durability and waterproofing. I'm having a hell of a time finding carpet adhesives that are specifically compatible with cleaned and roughened epoxy surfaces. I actually bought AAT 390 glue from the carpet provider, but I called AAT and while this glue is rated for fiberglass, the tech said it wasn't rated for over epoxy. Since I will be laying down large pieces of carpet I'd prefer not to use contact cement on the deck. Any successes with adhesives over epoxy?

dap weld-wood is the recommended carpet contact cement

or finish the floor in gel and non-skid and make a snap in carpet

Epoxy is inert after it is cured. I would expect most any outdoor carpet adhesive to be compatible.

I have used store brand latex outdoor carpet adhesive to bond carpet to poly resin. Heck, I never even sanded it.
